My uncle dropped off an unopened case of these shells today. Who remembers hunting with these?

I did.
Still have a few boxes of 2's and one of BB for my BPS 10 gauge. The BB doesn't pattern worth a hoot with any tube I own. The 2's are absolutely MONSTROUS !!! Any fox or coyote within 70-75 yards of the front of that combo won't survive it.

A fine shell and now, historic.

Great load! I've killed a few hundred pheasants with those. Three years ago my son flattened his first turkey with that exact load.
